Actor James Van Der Beek, who is best known for his role in “Dawson’s Creek,” slammed the Democrat Party in a video this week for refusing to allow President Joe Biden to be subjected to the rigors of a primary debate.

The news comes as more fringe characters in the party like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and Marianne Williamson have gained decent traction in primary polls after both candidates announced presidential campaigns.

“I mean, what the hell? How is this a democracy?” Van Der Beek asked in a Memorial Day video. “I cannot get over the fact that the Democratic National Committee is saying there will not be a debate to decide the nominee for president. Are you f***ing kidding me? There’s no debate?”

“There’s no debate over an 80-year-old man who, if he lives, will be the oldest sitting president in the history of the country? And if he doesn’t live, has a vice president whose approval rating is worse than his?” he continued. “This guy has obviously declining mental faculties. You’re putting him up in front of a podium with flashcards telling him who to call on and what the questions are going to be. And you’re telling us there’s no debate? What about the will of the people?”

“If we don’t have a debate, this is not a democracy by the people, this is a democracy by them. For who? Big banks? Big business? Big tech, big pharma, big government, big whatever,” he said. “Think, and do your f***ing job before you start posting about how grateful you are there are people out there who are willing to die to preserve democracy, cause you are not preserving democracy right now. You are shoehorning your pick and forcing it on the rest of us.”

Van Der Beek went as far as to suggest that if Biden becomes president again, he will not be a “legitimate president” because he will not have had to face Democrat primary voters.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon suggested during an interview this week that he is open to potentially running for president.

The 67-year-old leads America’s largest bank and is arguably the most powerful person in corporate America, according to CNN.

Dimon would not rule out the possibility when asked about it during an interview on Bloomberg Television on Wednesday.

“I love my country, and maybe one day I’ll serve my country in one capacity or another, but I love what I do,” he said.

Dimon told CNBC in 2019 that he considers himself  “barely a Democrat,” adding, “my heart is Democratic, my brain is kind of Republican.”

Dimon has hammered Democrats in recent years under the Biden administration, including taking shots at President Joe Biden and far-Left Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).

Dimon enraged Tlaib during a House hearing when she pressed him over whether his bank had a policy “against funding new oil and gas products.”

“Absolutely not,” Dimon responded. “And that would be the road to hell for America.”

“Yeah, that’s fine,” Tlaib responded. “That’s why, sir, you know what, everybody that got relief from student loans, has a bank account with your bank should probably take out their account and close their account, the fact that you’re not even there to help relieve many of the folks that are in debt, extreme debt because of student loan debt, and you’re out there criticizing it.”

Dimon said during a CNBC interview last fall that Biden was “getting energy completely wrong,” and that the war in Ukraine has only exacerbated the situation.

“We have it completely backwards, and in my view, America should have been pumping oil and gas,” Dimon continued. “And it should have been supported, you know, we’re trying to have our cake and eat it, too, a little bit. And so you have the, you have the problem this winter, which it sounds like they’ve got enough supply to get through this winter. But we have a longer term problem now, which is the world is not producing enough oil and gas to reduce coal, make the transition, create security for people. So I would put it in a critical category.”

“And this should be treated almost as a matter of war at this point, nothing short of that,” he concluded on the matter. “And obviously, America needs to play a real leadership role. America is the swing producer, not Saudi Arabia. And we should have gotten that right starting in March. It’s almost too late to get it right. Because obviously these are longer term investments.”
